How about when he got Kinko's to make up phoney Hawaii birth certificates and most people bought it. HA HA

[3blueeggs]

Ewwwwww...a birther! How long did it take you to undo the buckle on the back of your jacket?

[BubbaWhiteTrash]

The only thing I find funny is that this man is Prez,,,,,,,,,,Now THAT's funny!

[sdmomof4]

How do you really feel, Bubba? (Fits, btw;)

[wizedollars]

Re-appointing the crook Ben Bernanke was probably the funniest moment, to him

[waldenpp]

How about when he won the nobel? That was pretty funny, bbwahahahahaha

[VietVet67]

Ain't it amazing how the Dow has jumped over 2,000 points since this speech?

[HippieChickNik]

You guys left of his funniest speech: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SzqJUKFMa10&feature=player_embedded

[HumanityCritic]

Actually, this was the funniest. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UCDxXJSucF4

Probably the beer garden ceremony discussing racial inequality of assault on a peace officer

"Now, before I begin, I'd like to clear the air about that little controversy everyone was talking about a few weeks back. I have to tell you, I really thought it was much ado about nothing, although I think we all learned an important lesson. I learned to never again pick another team over the Sun Devils in my NCAA bracket. And your university President and Board of Regents will soon learn all about being audited by the IRS." ~POTUS ASU speech

WIN !!!

I agree about the Al Smith Dinner...you can't have a list without that appearance!
My favorite is still: (looking back at John McCain) "Barak is actually Swahili for 'That One'"

hi-larious

[UnePetiteParisienne]

Very true.
I hadn't seen the soccer joke though and as a "European football" aficionada (yes, football, it is certainly played with feet more than US football), I found Obama's tongue-in-cheek answer very funny (and diplomatic as well of course).

One night back in May, I was sitting in ICU with my injured husband. I was half watching Obama speaking at some function or another, watching mainly to keep me from not worrying myself sick. Obama suddenly cracked a joke about Boehner being a "person of color" although he said he wasn't sure what that color was. I laughed for a long time after that. Even my husband's nurse was laughing. It certainly helped the mood in ICU during that upsetting time. I thought later that the president helped me so much and didn't even realize it!

[ItHasToBeSaid]

President Obama's performance at the Al Smith /Catholic dinner in New York was his funniest and was absolutely SUPERB. It should have been in this selection. The White House Correspondents' dinner performance was also fantastic and comes in at a very close second.

[Solja]

I agree! I was crying laughing over his delivery of some of the funniest jabs I've seen in politics.

[jennylynn]

Why wasn't "The stimulus will assure the unemployment rate stays at 8%' not one of the moments?

[darr]

Because this is the comedy section. Jenny go get yourself a much needed pair of glasses.

[SuZy0925]

And a much-needed sense of humor, I might add.
